Washington, May 29 (PTI) Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has attacked President Barack Obama for not mentioning the deadly Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 during his historic trip to Japan this week.

"Does President Obama ever discuss the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor while hes in Japan? Thousands of American lives lost. #MDW," tweeted Trump, who emerged as the Republican partys presumptive presidential nominee last week.

Obama did not publicly mention the surprise 1941 attack that pulled the US into World War II while on his historic trip to Japan this week, during which he became the first sitting American president to visit Hiroshima.

He used the visit to discuss the threat of nuclear weapons.

"Why do we come to this place, to Hiroshima? We come to ponder the terrible forces unleashed in the not-so-distant past. We come to mourn the dead ... their souls speak to us and ask us to look inward. To take stock of who we are and what we might become," Obama had said during his visit to the citys Peace Memorial Park.
